The CDC is stockpiling personal protective equipment (PPE) that can be used by healthcare workers caring for Ebola patients, the agency said Friday.

The $2.7 million worth of equipment, which will form part of the Strategic National Stockpile, is being put into kits that can be quickly shipped to hospitals short of protective gear, the CDC said in a statement.
